Until the shabby code starts making even the simplest changes, take days to complete.
Keeping code in good condition, delivers a large amount of business value over the long term. Shabby code delivers business value short term, but reduce it long term.
- Edmond 13y agoshort term benefit vs long term value is certainly something to consider... Going back to my earlier point, the important thing is for managers to know how to recognize when a developer's effort is aligned with business interest as opposed to simply allowing developers do what serves their own ideology. I think once you do that, it becomes easy to discuss/address things like technical debt.
